Part of it is space savings or just making the interior more appealing.
Never seen the third pedal on an American car/truck?
Why have this huge space dedicated to the parking brake (hand lever) and gear shift.
It’s not a “huge space” and the reason is because they’re significantly less expensive, more reliable, and easier to adjust and repair.

It can still be enshittified further…
